The away kit will be unveiled at half time during the Monaco game. Shame its on SKY, apparently it's ****ing woeful.
So if Wes does hold his own tommorow all you lot are going to come on here and admit you was wrong? Or will it be its just a friendly bollocks?
Dont over estimate Falcao. Sean St. Ledger and Zak Whitbread have both faced better players then Falcao Whitbread for Norwich playing against the likes of Van Persie, Tevez, Rooney, Drogba, Suarez, St. Ledger for Ireland playing against players like Torres, Villa, Iniesta, Xavi, Mandzukic, Modric and Pirlo plus many more There is a reason Falcao is playing for Monaco and not the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Its because in todays market this season more then others with Cavani aswell going for 55M and now maybe Suarez. Very good (Not world class) strikers are going for stupid prices and that makes people over estimate how good they are. Falcao could play brilliantly tommorow and make me look a little silly but as I said Wes will be able to hold his own. There isnt many defenders in the world of Morgan's size with his pace aswell
Proud, please. Listen to yourself. Falcao was the 3rd top goalscorer (behind the two footballing geniuses of Messrs Messi and Ronaldo) in Europe last season. He had a 52m release clause which was met by Monaco and they paid his wages to make him on the the highest earners ever. Whitbread and SSL may well have played some fantastic players, but they've generally looked ****ing awful against them. Falcao is probably the best Centre Forward in the world (and the best it's seen for quite a while).
Obviously. But you're talking about it as though it's likely to happen, which it clearly isn't. Falcao scored 28 goals in 34 games against the likes of Sergio Ramos, Pique and Pepe.
Take out Real and Barcelona and La Liga has no other quality teams. Since Valencia had their money trouble no other team has managed to establish itself amongst the top 4 in Spain. Villareal have been there as have Deportivo in recent years. Sevilla came and went and now Athletico Madrid will. If Falcao was that good Real, Barca, Bayern, Man City, Man U, Chelsea or even Arsenal would have shown an interest. Arsenal have shown with their 40M+£1 offer for Suarez they have the money. The others we all know have the money. Barca choose Neymar, Madrid signed someone from Sociedad for 35M last week. Whitbread is **** simple as but St. Ledger has done quite well for Ireland. Im not saying Wes is going to deal with him like he does with championship strikers but Falcao wont find Wes and easy customer as we all know when players do get past him, he uses his size and pace to recover and very rarely gets left wanting. Its ****ing Konch we all need to worry about Falcao is massively over rated and he will prove that in the coming years at Monaco.
How many of them 28 goals was against Ramos, Pique and Pepe. All of them are very good footballers but hardly the best defenders the world has ever seen. Falcao would stuggle in the prem against top defenders like Ferdinand, Terry, Vidic, Vertonghen etc
But those teams were interested in him. Falcao had a 60m Euro release clause which Monaco met and they're paying him 14m Euros a season to keep him there. Also, La Liga has plenty of quality teams and plenty of defenders at a much higher standard to ours who Falcao has consistently destroyed. Not to mention he's the golden boot winner in the last two Europa Leagues. He's a class centre forward.
Im not saying he isnt class, just not as good as the media and his price tag make out. For 55M I could find you about 50 strikers who are better and will cost alot less. When Carlos Tevez goes for 10M, David Villa for 5M and Falcao and Edinson Cavani are going for 55M each it shows whats wrong with the transfer market. Wayne Rooney is going to cost around 25-30M. Robin Van Persie only cost 20M. Both better strikers then Falcao IMO. You could have had them 2 plus 5M change instead of Falcao
[video=youtube;qNZngJPEFok]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNZngJPEFok[/video] Here's Falcao ****ting all over Chelsea with all their fantastic defenders.
So why didnt any else activate it? Arsenal prefer Suarez, Man City preferred Negrado, Chelsea prefered Schlurre, Barca prefered Neymar and Madrid would rather sign Bale or Suarez and Man U are after midfielders. Bayern Munich despite selling Mario Gomez still wasnt interested. There is a reason for that. Its because the media over hype players All of them clubs would have pushed the boat out for Falcao if he was that good. If Messi or Ronaldo was going for 55M they all would have bid
I can find you a video of Andrey Arshavin smashing 4 goals past a very good Liverpool defence who was one of the best teams in Europe at the time
Are you suggesting Carlos Tevez and David Villa (21 goals between them last season) are better than Falcao and Edinson Cavani (57 goals between them last season)? This despite the former having much better players providing the assists than the latter? Sorry mate, but there is a reason they've gone for as much as they have. That's simply because they're immense strikers.
I'm sure you could. I could also find one of Fernando Torres (having not scored for months) ****ting all over Wes Morgan. The point is, Wes Morgan's physicality is not going to be enough to defend against one of the greatest players in the world. Falcao won't be shoved off the ball against him either.
So you would geniuenly prefer a striker force of Cavani and Falcao costing 110M rather then David Villa and Carlos Tevez costing 15M? David Villa has won every trophy he can possibly win at both club and international level. Tevez has the potential to destroy any defender. Before he had that sulk and jetted off to the golf course he was arguably the best striker in the world David Villa missed alot of last season through injury with regards to the goal tallies
A back line of Sean St. Ledger, Sol Bamba, Wes Morgan and Paul Konchesky got destroyed by Juan Mata and Torres picked up the pieces. Im not saying Wes will have Falcao in his back pocket but I dont expect Falcao to have Wes in his back pocket like he can get Konch, St. Ledger and Whitbread. Regarding Torres Wes is in miles better shape now then from when we signed him. Wes wont disgrace himself against Falcao
Arsenal prefer Suarez (will cost the same amount) Man City preferred Negredo (after being smashed out of the water by Monaco). Chelsea preferred Schurlle (he's a winger) (after being smashed out of the water by Monaco). Barca preferred Neymar (also a winger) (probably the best young player in the world). Madrid would rather sign Bale (a winger) or Suarez (after being smashed out of the water by Monaco). I said earlier he's not as good as Messi or Ronaldo. He's the next best though. The media havn't hyped up those players (Bale and Neymar aside) because they're simply not as good.
If I could afford it (like PSG and Monaco clearly can) then absolutely. If you want to be the best, like those two sides do, then you have to pay for the best. Falcao and Cavani were, by a distance, the best two strikers going this summer.
Other then Monaco no one else was prepared to bid 55M for Falcao because he isnt worth it. PSG and Monaco are paying stupid prices for players.
